About to let the cat out of the bag...

Steve and I are about to tell our 3 boys (6, 4, and 3 yrs) that we are expecting our 4th. We hadn't planned a 4th, but we were playing with fire using the FPM of prevention and not being super careful with it, lol. I know the exact date that our divine misunderstanding occurred Christmas Eve. What a beautiful gift to receive, right!!! We are overjoyed and looking into how we can start budgeting even better than we already were =)

We haven't told the boys yet and are waiting until I'm 12 wks to do so. We go in a few days for our first ultrasound and then plan to tell the boys that night before taking them to see Madagascar Live at the Civic Center. I can't wait to see and hear their reactions!!! I pray for God's blessings that night that the boys will thoroughly enjoy the show (I'm pretty certain they'll be excited about the baby). My oldest tends to say the exact opposite of what I'd expect, and then my middle boy tends to follow his older brother, and so on. I would love to bless them with something that shows how much I value their enjoyment of life.

This is my first blog, and can't guarantee that there will be any more after this, but do plan to try. I love the idea of having all the memories written down in something that won't disappear when the computer crashes!

About Me

I'm a SAHM of 4 boys, 1 girl, and two angels. I've been with my husband for 18 yrs and have been blessed immeasurably by him choosing to be with me and support me in my endeavors.
I was an atheist for many years, but the Lord just wouldn't leave my hard heart alone so I came to believe in Him. I stayed a lukewarm Christian for some time, and then the last ten years have really felt a deeper connection and calling to being a follower of Jesus Christ.
My life has been changing by leaps and bounds, and it's brought new life to my marriage, my day to day interactions, and my personal successes sprinkled with failures.
The Lord's GRACE is the key to everything. Jesus is my standard, and by grace through faith not only am I saved, but I can also lead the life He told me to. My days are spent seeking His humility, obedience to our Father, and letting His perfect love have its way in my heart.
